The big question is what flavor the shake will be - it's purple so you'd think maybe grape, but some rumors are that it's vanilla.

Details about the birthday meal were first revealed by the popular Instagram page @snackolator. It is also expected that the fast food chain will be dropping limited-edition Grimace-themed merch for the birthday celebrations of the purple icon.

All you need to know about McDonald’s Grimace Birthday Meal

First introduced to fans in the 1970s, Grimace made his appearance in McDonald’s commercials along with his bestie Ronald McDonald. The purple icon appears to be the embodiment of a milkshake. However, not everyone thinks the same, as Grimace is often considered to be a taste bud who signifies that the chain's food tastes really good. Whether you see him as an embodiment of milkshakes, or a taste bud, with old pal Grimace turning 51 this year, there's no reason not to celebrate.

Adding up to the celebrations, McDonald’s is also welcoming a limited-time meal dedicated to Grimace -- a namesake birthday meal. Loaded with a Big Mac, French Fries, and a purple Grimace shake, the combo will be available in stores nationwide starting June 12. Fans will also be able to try out a 10-piece McNugget variant of the meal at all participating locations for over $10, excluding taxes.
